Matchstick Men never really casts off its cloak of artificiality and calculation; its pleasures are minor, however distracting they may be.. En route to its kitchen-sink climax, "Man" manages to both amuse and provoke, to cleave to convention and pro…

The Mexican (2001) Se Fuld Film
At a time when action and effects dominate the movies, it's plain refreshing to run into a picture that rolls around playfully in the language.. . There is nothing in this very slight road movie ... that remotely justifies its ponderous length.. This…
Austin Powers: Goldmember (2002) Se Streaming
With so many impersonations to keep track off, director Jay Roach winds up moving between Myers and Myers so often that the editing feels like a crude cut-and-paste job.. The Powers team has fashioned a comedy with more laughs than many, no question.…
Hard Candy (2005) Fuld Film Streaming
A rinky-dink comedy.. [Bullock] trips, we laugh, but we also hope she gets up -- so she can do it again.. While there may not be many surprises, there's little to dislike either.. It is funny and knowing, detached enough to take a bemused stance towa…
The Call (2013) Download Film
I'll say one thing for "The Call": Its ending is actually a bit of a surprise. Just when you think it couldn't get any stupider, pow!. Can't someone come up with screenwriting software that signals when a script has made the fatal slip from hyped-up …
Focus (2015) Fuld Film Streaming
Mostly, it is fun to watch Will Smith and Margot Robbie, and to marvel at whatever divine or evolutionary miracle concentrated so much charisma in the two of them.. Like a counterfeit handbag: It looks great but falls apart when you reach into it.. T…
Cold in July (2014) Se Streaming
These unique characters and performances breathe life into the moody world Mickle creates in this vivid, shocking thriller that sticks with you long afterward.. A well-paced story that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats as it bucks and ro…
J. Edgar (2011) Download Film
Whether unintentionally or by design, the movie never really makes a case either for or against the troubled figure at its center.. Did Carnahan think these sickening scenes would give Smokin' Aces a moral complexity that's generally absent from this…
Machete (2010) Download Fuld
The whole thing's not much of anything, really - just a little more than an hour-and-a-half of crude jokes and clumsy plotting, all wrapped up with a feel-good ribbon at the end.. "Identity Thief" is not only not funny. It's negative funny. It's shor…
Gong Fu (2004) Online Streaming
With Hustle's release on 2,000 U.S. screens this week, Americans get to see what's so funny about Chow. The laugh's on them for not noticing him before.. A lively, visual treat.. Like a meal prepared by an extreme chef, 'Hustle is more than a bit of …
The Lincoln Lawyer (2011) Download Film
The Lincoln Lawyer is not a feat of genre-breaking design. But it is a well-oiled machine.. Just when you thought Matthew McConaughey had settled into pre-retirement content to play the (dry-aged) beefcake in a string of dippy romantic comedies, the …
Dom Hemingway (2013) Se Fuld Film
Dom Hemingway is an uneven movie, to be sure ... but it's still hard to resist.. Dom Hemingway is often viciously funny, and every time you think the movie has run out of steam, Shepard spins things in a new direction, keeping the energy from flaggin…
Chicago (2002) Download Film
For those of us who believe the prime directive of action pictures is that such movies ought to, by gawd, move , Gareth Evans is our new patron saint.. An all-star cast fails to rise above bloody japes and heavy-handed humor in this tale of a renegad…
Charlie's Angels (2000) Download Fuld
This is the funniest Coen brothers movie since 1996's Fargo.. The fact that Charlie's Angels amounts to little more than disarming patchwork scarcely seems to matter because it's so easy to ride the trio's exhilarating acrobatics and deftly self-mock…
Bronson (2008) Online Streaming
The tone is surreal, at once visceral and clinical, making Bronson an unsettling experience: savage, disturbing, and yet somehow fascinating.. This is the funniest movie I've seen in more than a year.. Bronson is one of those "based on a true story" …
Super (2011) Download Film
Shows us a nebbish who becomes a costumed crime fighter without telling us anything interesting about nebbishes or crime fighters.. The spectacle soon wearies and repels.. If Gunn had a sense of how to shape a scene, or how to shoot a scene attractiv…
We're the Millers (2013) Spille Streaming
a movie written by a committee, too long, but the cast carries it a long way, these mild virtues don't quite add up to a recommendation, but if you said you wanted to see it I wouldn't block the door.. The filmmakers lack the courage of their convict…
Svindel på højt plan (2011) Online Streaming
This wannabe highbrow horror-thriller is a graceless, unfocused piece of work with a central narrative as tonally schizophrenic and wayward as its lead.. . The most that can be said for Tower Heist, the new action comedy from Brett Ratner, is that it…
Headhunterne (2011) Fuld Streaming
This Norwegian thriller has a winning cutthroat perversity.. Here's a 3-D movie that should have been shot in Zero-D.. "Headhunters" is an absurd amount of grisly fun, which is a good thing, since, looked at in any great detail, it probably doesn't h…
Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) Download Fuld
When it isn't TV-movie familiar, Egoyan's film is bughouse crazy, mixing in campy pulp elements that bleed pressure away from the story.. This ludicrous abduction thriller plays like an ill-advised assembly of tropes and themes from Atom Egoyan's hig…
